DeSantis boasts the most publicly announced elected official endorsements by any presidential campaign in the Palmetto State

Tallahassee, FL - In a sign of growing grassroot momentum, Ron DeSantis added new state and local endorsements in South Carolina today. DeSantis' total of elected official endorsements in the Palmetto State now stands at 57, the most publicly announced by any presidential campaign.

"Like so many in South Carolina, myself included, Ron DeSantis wore the uniform to protect our freedoms. His sacrifice, service, and unwavering leadership is desperately needed in our nation and across the world. Mission-focused and principled conservative, Ron DeSantis has earned my trust to be the strong President we need," said Union City Councilman Greg Addison.

"Delivering results and winning matters. It mattered for me growing the Republican Party, serving on city council, and passing conservative bills in the legislature. It matters today to stop and reverse our nation's decline. Ron DeSantis has proven he is a winner who delivers on his promises. That's why he has earned my support and that of more than 50 elected officials in South Carolina," said former State Representative Edie Rodgers.

Last month, DeSantis unveiled his South Carolina Veterans Coalition Leadership Team before hosting the first official national Veterans for DeSantis coalition event in Anderson. In September, faith leaders from across the Palmetto State joined DeSantis' Faith and Freedom Coalition.
